Concise Mahavamsa Ruwan Rajapakse, P.E., Sinhalanet.com 11 Mahavamsa History of Buddhism in Sri Lanka ~The Visit of The Thatagatha (Buddha)~ Having paid homage to Samma Sambuddha, I will recite Mahavamsa. Our Conqueror met Sambuddha Deepankara, in older times and paid homage to him. There our conqueror resolved to become a Buddha to rid world from evil. Our conqueror paid homage to twenty-four Sambuddhas during different life times. They are, Sambuddha Deepankara, Sambuddha Kondanna, Sambuddha Mangala, Sambuddha Sumana, Sambuddha Revatha, Sambuddha Sobitha, Sambuddha Anomadassi, Sambuddha Paduma, Sambuddha Narada, Sambuddha Padumattara, Sambuddha Sumedha, Sambuddha Sujatha, Sambuddha Piyadassi, Sambuddha Atthadasi, Sambuddha Dhammadassi, Sambuddha Siddhattha, Sambuddha Tissa, Sambuddha Phussa, Sambuddha Vipassi, Sambuddha Sikhi, Sambuddha Vessabhu, Sambuddha Kakusanda, Sambuddha Konagama, Sambuddha Kassapa. Then our Conqueror fulfilled ten Parami Dharmas and reached enlightenment. The great sage attained Buddhahood on the full moon day of the month of Vesakha under a Bodhi tree. After attaining Buddhahood, our conqueror went to Varanasi to explain Dharma to sixty hearers. Explaining Dharma to Jatilas: From Varanasi, conqueror went to the township of Uruvela and explained Dharma to Jatilas led by Kassapa. ~Visit to Mahiyangana~ Nine months after attaining Buddhahood, our Conqueror visited Lanka. There was a great meeting of Yakkas (devils) in the town of Mahiyangana, where Mahiyangana Thupa was built later times. Buddha arrived and struck terror to the hearts of Yakkas by rain, storm and darkness. Buddha preached them, that he would release them from fear. (Author’s Note: Mahiyangana is the very first town of Lanka to be mentioned in Mahavamsa). God Sumana’s Request:
